Jillian Reyfield writes for The Salon during election times about Colleen Lachowicz and the new campaign issue the democrat is facing. Starting with an overall idea of what the canditate for State Senate is facing, Reyfield informs the reader about the recent attacks made, accusing Lachowicz of "leading (...) a bizarre double life." Reyfield builds her article by reffering to the press release and mentioning how the Maine Republican Party used this hobbie of the aspiring Senator to cause doubts on the voters to whether she was fit for the position, also creating a website title "Coleen's World" to humiliate and unite all the negative comments brought up over the issue. The author then exposes a few of Lachowicz's comments on the role-playing game. She closes the article with Lachowicz's response to the scandal.
Jillian Reyfield's purpose in writing this article is to inform the reader about both parties and how they're reacting to the campaign, focusing on Collen Lachowicz's (from the Maine Democratic Party) newest campaign issues. By addressing the issue in an impartial way, Reyfield is able to expose the polemic issue and allow the reader to make his own assumptions upon the issue. Using the original comments made by Lachowicz which were attacked by the MRP, the author makes a small list and achieves her purpose through increasing the proximity of the reader with the issue. Reyfield ends her article by showing the canditate's response to the whole issue.
